Good lord, how many close-in shots we've missed in two quarters.

It's forcing players to know how to play with fouls. It's something they have to learn how to do.

LOL! So you're saying maybe Chauncey should be coaching in a pee-wee league.

it really is shocking how useless ayton's screens are.

The foul he got late in the quarter wasn't his fault. Shaedon was lazy in using the screen and left a gap for the defender to get through.

It's just bizarre that Chauncey has this weird obsession with playing guys who are in foul trouble. This is the third time in like two weeks. First he brought Clingan back with two fouls in the 1Q to pick up his third immediately, then Camara a few days ago and now this.

Pee wee coaches don't make this kind of mistake. What the heck is he doing?

And then he made a weird substitution for Simons; put in Walker even though Ayton was in the game and Rupert and Deni were available. Walker made a bad move to the basket, lost the ball and Dallas got a fast break basket. It was only for one play but costly.

If Simons got his 4th foul in the game, then maybe he belongs in the pee-wee league.
 
that wingstop commercial might drive me to manslaughter.
 
Someone will shoot me for this statement but....here I go.

Sometimes Sharpe brings back memories of Martell Webster. Beatiful shot and seemed to have size and should have been very successful but never really put it all together although there were the occasional flashes.

I just wonder sometimes if he has the mental talent to go with the physical talent or if he will fall by the wayside.

Darius Miles is another, could absolutely rock but didn't seem to have the mentality to take over.

I am not worried about Sharpe's abilities from a physical aspect, I worry about building on him from a mental perspective. He has not consistently shown he can lead.

There. Done.

Fire away.

I agree and have said similar before, he has time but he's certainly not convincing me
 
Sharpe isn't a #1 option (yet? ever?) but I'm not selling on him just because of that.
Scoot is getting better but isn't prime time (yet? ever?) but I'm not selling on him because of that.

We have a lot of interesting pieces, and I like seeing them on the board together. We don't have The Guy yet, but that's not a big deal. Yet.

Nailed it. Probably just a slightly better Gerald Green
 
They’re going to keep attacking Ant with 5 fouls

Jesus Christ. Sharpe, our leading scorer by the way, is way better than Webster ever was. Sharpe has shown repeatedly that when we feature him as the #1 option, he is fantastic. Best Blazers since Drexler.
 
why was simons on the court end of 3rd with 4 fouls and Dallas having ball, Chauncy is just dumb at foul mgmt
